That number will plummet, though, with a home loss to the Jets.The Steelers’ confidence meter has seen a much more drastic change -- their fans voted them at 26% this week, a decline of 37% from week to week.Will the Browns win or lose in Week 3?Odds: Browns are 3-point favoritesDawgs By Nature FanPulse: Browns by 7Gang Green Nation FanPulse: Jets by 4Cleveland fans are pretty confident this week, predicting the team to not only cover the spread, but win by a full touchdown.How would you fix NFL overtime? 47% of fans voted for college rules Cleveland Browns Hoodie , which I would absolutely hate with a passion. I do not like scores being over-inflated, and I’d rather see teams do traditional drives down the field.I voted for “keep it as is,” but I kind of wish there was another option to help distinguish things. I love the fact that a field goal by the first possessing team cannot end the game, but I don’t like the fact that ties still exist.

Go ahead and put down rookie Antonio Callaway and Rashard Higgins, who is showing what a player in his third year can do when given a chance, down for spots as well. Damion Ratley, a sixth-round selection from Texas A&M has looked good in the preseason and should see a considerable amount of playing time in the final preseason game on Thursday against the Detroit Lions. Unless he is injured or has an incredibly poor game against the Lions, put Ratley down for the fifth spot.That leaves one roster position up for grabs. At the outset of training camp it appeared that veteran Jeff Janis would make the team. He was brought to Cleveland in free agency after spending four seasons with the Green Bay Packers, playing primarily on special teams. The link to Green Bay, where general manager John Dorsey and front office mates Alonzo Highsmith and Eliot Wolf all worked www.authenticsclevelandbrowns.com , would seem to favor Janis, but he hasn’t done much in the passing game so far and his play on special teams has been erratic at best.That could open the door for Derrick Willies, an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech. Willies has the size — 6-foot-4 and 207 pounds — that coaches like, and he has been a vocal target of offensive coordinator Todd Haley, which could indicate that Haley sees something in Willies worth working with. The final preseason game can be a difficult one to watch as the majority of a team’s top players do not play. But with the Browns still finalizing the back end of the roster, there will be a few players at the wide receiver position worth keeping an eye on at Ford Field.
